The Latino AI SUMMIT IS HEADED TO NEW YORK CITY! *
Nueva York.
Nuestro Momento.
AI has changed how we work, build, create, lead, hire, communicate, and make decisions. The question is no longer whether AI will shape our future.
The question is: Who gets to help shape AI right now?
Latinos bring creativity, entrepreneurship, resilience, cultural intelligence, ingenuity, and lived experience to every industry we enter and we shouldn't only be consumers of this technology. We should be builders, decision-makers, leaders, founders, creators, and voices helping determine how AI is used.
That's why we're bringing the Latino AI Summit to New York City. To get in the room and do something with it.
Our first-ever in-person gathering.
Two days. Limited seats. One room we believe Latinos need to be in.
Latino leadership. New York energy. AI in action.

Here's What's on the Agenda.
Real conversations. Practical skills. A stronger tomorrow.
AI is changing how we work, the skills employers value, and the pathways to career advancement. Hear from leaders in education, HR, business, and workforce development on how to get ready and position yourself for what's next.
A candid conversation about accountability, fairness, privacy, environmental impact, and how we can ensure AI serves people, communities, and the planet.
What happens when one of America's fastest-growing economic forces gains access to one of the most transformative technologies of our time? A bold discussion on economic mobility, leadership, ownership, and what it will take to close persistent gaps for Latinas.
Interactive, hands-on learning sessions led by AWS, Lovable, Microsoft, and others not listed. Come ready to explore tools, build your skills, and apply AI to real-world challenges.
See what's possible. Discover innovative use cases, creative solutions, and real-world applications from across industries.
Small-group discussions, guided prompts, and space for your voice. Because we believe in building with community.

FROM VIRTUAL COMMUNITY TO NUEVA YORK
We Didn’t Wait for an Invitation. We Built Our Own Table.
The Latino AI Summit began with one question:
What if we didn’t wait to be invited into the conversation about AI, but what if we built our own table?
Nearly 500 people showed up for our first virtual gathering. That response sent a clear signal: Our community is ready to lead.
What began as a passion project has grown into a vibrant community of professionals, builders, leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, students, and AI practitioners learning, building, and shaping what comes next. What sets the Latino AI Summit apart isn’t only that it was the first gathering of its kind for our community. It’s the intention behind everything we create. We center psychological safety, belonging, cultural relevance, and human connection while making AI education accessible, practical, and actionable. Now, for the first time, we’re bringing that community together in person.
New York City, you’re first.
Don't Just Sponsor the Conversation.
Help Build What Happens Next.
We're looking for organizations that believe Latino professionals should have access to the tools, networks, skills and opportunities shaping the AI economy.
Help make the two-day experience possible.
Bring a hands-on workshop to Builders Day.
Help students and emerging professionals get in the room.
Bring your technology, expertise, community or resources.
